Well we left our cozy mountain cabin and headed out around 10'ish after our morning routines that started with our quiet times to honor our Creator. I was up and ready to go around my normal 6 rollout to start the day. We did speak with our "mountain mom" before heading out and had a boring bowl of oatmeal doctored up with some cinnamon, blue berries and cereal on top to give it some crunch. That held us until Cave Springs when we finally got down Bent Mountain on Rt.221 when we stopped at a Bojangles for lunch. That was our first time ever to eat in one and I must say their chicken breast sandwich and fries were as good if not better than Chick Filet. We found a new way through Roanoke and were soon on I-81 much to Nancy's chagrin.
The rest of the travel was very boring which we always like and the truck traffic was at a minimum which is very unusual. We made a rest stop area around Verona and then it was smooth sailing into Woodstock where we stopped at a super Wal Mart for a few supplies before heading over to Dee and Mike's beautiful home and manicured yards and garden. Dee's garden is producing tomato's, corn, peppers and zucchini's as well as bird egg beans which are ripe for pickin'. These are the best tasting beans ever and she is out there picking them as I write this ramble at 7'ish in the morning. They are early risers as Mike leaves around 6'ish for work near Winchester. We actually slept in until 6:30 which is a change for me.
Well after getting settled in we took off for a local Mexican eatery for a delicious supper. We took the scenic drive back to their place then took Bonnie their Jack Russell for a long walk in their neighborhood. We settled out on the back porch until nearly 8:30 as the vistas where awesome with the freshly mowed hayfield, corn fields and the huge dairy farm in the distance. It wasn't long afterwards as dusk settled that we headed in to watch a little NFL as Mike got ready for bed. He gets up very early on Fridays around 4:30 or so for work. We hit the showers and I was ready for some horizontal lab by 10'ish as both Mike and Dee had retired for the evening.
Well thats about it for Thursday and this morning. The mountains are so blue in the distance as we are surrounded by them and offers up a picture to be painted with the blue skies and the deep dark blue mountains, LATER
